(Note: Elmore Reed's age is consistent with age 2 reported in 1860 Census, but there is a discrepancy in the 1900 Census, in which he is shown as age 34, b. Apr 1866, and wife Phebe as 44, b. Aug 1855.) Event Notes Note (1) Age given in 1860 Census and at marriages in 1873, 1875 and 1876 would put birth in about 1851 or 1852, while age given at birth of daughter Flossie would put his birth at 1847. But death record states birth as Mar 30 1855.
